If vec(E) and vec(B) represent electric and magnetic field vectors of the electromagnetic wave, the direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave is along

If E and B represent electric and magnetic field vectors of the electromagnetic wave, the direction of propagation of eletromagnetic wave is along.

Assertion: EM wave are transwers in nature. Reason: The electric and magnetic fields of an e.m. wave are perpendicular to each other also perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
